Building Materials

24/3/2022

0 Comments

 
In Science we have been investigating the properties of materials. Today, the children worked in pairs to build a wall using materials that they thought would withstand strong wind. As the children were working, they were using fantastic language for example, 'we will have to make sure it's a fair test when we try to blow it down.'

Lighting Fires

24/3/2022

Forest School was a great success this week for the Tawny Owls. They got to light fires using steel and flint. They listened wonderfully to the instructions and many of the children had a great technique to get a spark. While children weren't doing this activity they were busy creating prints, by crushing flowers and plants using mallets.

We wore red and and discussed how we can help others. We found out that Comic Relief raises money to help people live free from poverty, violence and discrimination. This includes funding organisations that are supporting people right now in Ukraine, and those attempting to cross the border. We have the power to change lives.

We were delighted with the amount of entries for our World Book Day competition; reading in an unusual place. Thank you all for taking your time to send in some amazing pictures. There were children reading in supermarkets, gyms and cupboards. At the top of tors, cars and fridges. Some were on rollercoasters in gardens and rivers. This shows how easy it is to take a book wherever you want and promote a love for reading.

The winning photos are shown here, congratulations to Cedric, Freya, Thomas and Eben!

The children had great fun creating clay models of forest animals in the environmental area. We had supers-sized bugs chasing small woodland animals such as, deer for our display. Over the coming weeks, we are going to see how the weather alters our animals.

World Book Day 2022

3/3/2022

0 Comments

 
It was lovely to be able to mix classes this afternoon for a quality book share across all year groups. The children thoroughly enjoyed reading to each other and as the teachers went around the different pairs/groups, they heard amazing book talk happening. We then had an assembly where we spoke about the reason behind this celebration. Children spoke with great confidence about this, ranging from a year 1 pupil saying, 'because it charges our brain' to a year 6 pupils response explaining, 'it's good to have book knowledge passed down from generation to generation'. Promoting a love for learning is vital in a child's development and shared reading is a crucial part of this.
